Inside the Gucci Cruise18 collection by Alessandro Michele, a look that celebrates an iconic style of hip-hop fashion culture from the 80s—a plush jacket featuring puffy sleeves monogrammed in GG motif. Legendary tailor Dapper Dan influenced the trend by making such custom pieces for his rapper and athlete clients out of logos from famous fashion houses, including #Gucci. In a homage to Dapper Dan, this jacket worn with jeans and a lurex headpiece is flanked with a striped knit with cross-stitch embroidery, cotton shorts and a georgette gown with trompe l’oeil details.

Captured at the Gucci Cruise 18 show in the Sala Bianca of Pitti Palace, where Gucci showed its first ready-to-wear collection for Spring Summer 1982, a Renaissance inspired dress with pearl appliqués. “I like popular culture and this is the reason why I like the Renaissance because it is super pop. Pop means we all understand it and admire it”

Blind For Love, a phrase first introduced by creative director Alessandro Michele in French (‘L’Aveugle Par Amour’) for his first Gucci Cruise collection held in New York, appears on the back of a men’s embroidered jacket featuring a dragon.

For the Gucci Cruise 18 collection Alessandro Michele introduced a new way of writing the House name—Guccy, Guccify and Guccification—found by the creative director through tags on Instagram, appearing on accessories and ready-to-wear including this cotton jersey crewneck together with a teddy bear.
